'Go to Your Local Pub': Rep. Devin Nunes Advises People to Leave Their Homes
If it not Kevin McCarthy used the current crisis to push the idea that only Chinese people transmit the virus, Republican Devin Nunes is encouraging people on Fox News to take the family out and go to your local pub.

In an appearance on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures , Nunes told that people should “stop panicking here.” He was concerned that the COVID-19 pandemic could harm the economy, “because people are scared to go out.”

“But I just want to say, one of the things you can do: if you’re healthy, you and your family, it’s a great time to go out and go to a local restaurant, likely you can get in easy,” said Nunes. “Let’s not hurt the working people in this country that are relying on wages and tips to keep their small business going… Don’t just run to the grocery store and buy $4,000 of food. Go to your local pub.”
Other countries have employed “social distancing,” the practice of reducing contact with other people, as a way to contain the virus and experts say that quick action has helped to contain the virus. Scientists have warned that there is evidence that the disease may be spread by people who are asymptomatic or with mild symptoms.
Experts say that social distancing is an effective means of slowing the virus’ spread, especially to vulnerable people like the elderly and chronically ill.
